Greetings @CleoQc
I am a “recently retired but still supply teaching” secondary teacher. I taught chemistry, health and physical education, special education and library over the course of my career (also a tiny bit of math, guidance and careers and credit recovery). Not sure if you would prefer to connect with individuals who might be earlier in their careers but I will help you out if I can! #osstf #otf #Ontario #Teacher #teaching
... general strike. This prospect terrified CUPE and the entire union bureaucracy, which worked overtime during a weekend in early November to ...
As has been the case throughout the 14 months since teachers’ contracts expired at the end of August 2022, the principal concern of the union bureaucracies following the votes has been to block a strike.#Canada #teachers #schools #education #Ontario #OSSTF #ETFO #OECTA #DougFord #libranet.de/search?tag=
Ontario education unions work to block teachers’ struggle despite massive strike votes
Labour Arbitration Is No Alternative To A Strike
OSSTF members would be wise to vote down a plan that would force them to surrender their right to strike.

I'd be very interested to hear the bargaining leadership's rationale for this. To start a mean and totally fictitious rumour, what if if turns out Ford offered them part of the #Greenbelt? #OnPoli #OnLabour
Toronto high school teacher bargaining team doesn’t support deal to avoid strikes
That would eliminate the chance of a strike by high school teachers.

An important read for #ETFO, #OECT, #AEFO, #OSSTF.
A strong strike vote is absolutely necessary. Say no to arbitration.

The Ford Conservative government addresses nonexistent problems, while ignoring opportunities to improve conditions in Ontario schools. #etfo #osstf #oecta #affordable #onted
So, far right Toronto mayoralty candidate @anthonyfurey is in favour of “school choice” - ie defunding public education in favour of vouchers for private schools, destroying teacher unions. #topoli #ETFO #OSSTF
Time for a proper #introduction post.
I was formerly on #Twitter as @poeticdevicesx, professional cynic and smart ass. I've decided to make a fresh start on Mastodon and see what happens. Some of you may remember me as a blogger, others as just a twit, but either way I hope you will join me here where I tweet...uh, toot...about #OSSTF #union #education #ONPoli #OntEd #Ontario #ResearchEd #teaching and #teachers
Any other #osstf folks here?
